Sieving versus ultra-fast laser particle sizers

February 2015 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

While the progressive range of Fritsch sieve shakers covers any eventuality and is designed to meet all the requirements of a modern day laboratory with sieving results that can be integrated into test equipment in accordance with ISO 9000, there is a much faster alternative. The super compact Fritsch Analysette 22 MicroTec laser sizer is able to provide results in under two minutes. In addition, there are more distinct advantages over the traditional sieving methods, which may outweigh the additional cost implications.

The Analysette 22 laser sizer has an extra wide measuring range of 0,08-2000 μm and revolutionary dual-laser-technology for wet measurements. So in one single measurement, a more accurate and reproducible result with an outstanding resolution in up to 108 measuring channels can be obtained. The machine makes particle size measurement the simplest thing in the world – for professionals as well as for any short integrated staff – and this in all fields of application. The risk of operator error is completely reduced. The laser sizer is also auto-calibrating to add to its simplicity.

Depending on the required application: dry, wet sieving, micro-precision sieving, micro-mill work or laser, Fritsch is able to offer a suitable sieving design producing results in accordance with ISO and your particle sizing analysis needs.
